It appears there as much of a varience in shades in the real one as there would be in the copies, Even the Elcan website shows a pretty goldie looking one, not much off the ebaybanned one.

Puding

did see that one as well, but for me still looks 100% than the ebaybanned version, never seen a specter have a finish like that one

added the picture from elcan site to the first post as a comparison

In the ACOG in to top pic, what is that extending from the front of the optic, never saw an ACOG like that before.

its an extended flash killer like http://www.px-airsoft.com/showroom/model/T0002/templateProductDetails.do?webId=1213907847691&editCurrentLanguage=1213907847692&module=SearchProduct&keyWords=flash&currentPage=1&ParentId=1214828800275&productId=1246247480500006798, you can pick them up with markings as well

It looks as if it has a kill flash on it.

Masada

Which one? there's the kill flash/honeycombe anti glare thingy on the front of the lens, or the Trijicon illuminator on top which illuminates the crosshairs without needing batterys.,:)

It was the flashkill thingy, was thinking it was like a sunshade for a scope but it looked too fancy.:D

The fibre optic strips, I've seen before. I don't think there is an airsoft version where the optic strip actually works?

Puding

fake ones are about but never seen a working fiber optic version let myself

Masada

Me neither, it would be deadly though., I find those battery's never last very long, and i often forget to turn them off aswell.,

That sounds like a project for someone. Can it be that difficult?

actually i would say you will more than likely be about the same price using the barrett as a guide, also i think the ares will be more avaliable

If I need to sell EVERYTHING, ill buy it!

Aye, largely pointless for gaming in the Irish environment.

Captain Chaos

It would be a very expensive and impressive looking show piece alright, it is a very imposing looking rifle though.

The Ares version is selling for crazy money. Can't see this being much cheaper being a licenced and 1:1 scale replica.

Puding

the ares is also licences from everything i've seen

Masada

Going off the price of their Barret, I'd say its going to be extortionate.,

Firekitten

Uh, you know the ares is going for only 5-600 notes in the UK? Right?

gerrowadat

GoTac in bray had an ares cheytac in tan on the wall last time I was in. Not sure how much it was going for.

yep seen them about about half the price they came onto the market for, a lot of places seem to have got them in and then been unable to shift them

*Leftyflip raids piggybank*


Frick only €20:(

Sod'o swords

It's horrible as sin...

Wouldn't own one even if i was paid the stupid amount of money they cost.
I'd rather that AK ar15 bastard love child over that..

Sniper rifles should look like Rifles, not waven pipe held together with pipe cleaners run over by the land mass that is Russia.

Some interesting bits in the new Echo1 Catalogue,
http://www.echo1usa.com/images/Echo1USA_2010_Catalog.pdf

Theres the Scar Heavy, Ive no idea who is making this, and if it is infact a new gun at all. It could be the Ares/VFC but it doesnt look that well finished to me from that pic. It could be the long awaited Dboys one, The flash hider is from the 5.56 Light version.


And this thing, pretty cool if its cheap, but not the most realistic one ive seen,

scar: your right its the dboys rebrand, been on the books for some time thought

m79: picture does not help the CAW version, tbh i would wait for the king arms version

new catalog was a little bit of a let down not much new, was look forward to a little bit of information on the m240

Leftyflip

The M79 looks pretty fail and plasticy...
